  • Raw dough or baked product that can be prepared in an oven or microwave oven in the form of a pizza slice with an enclosed filling that is covered with a crust
    Publication number: 20030096039
    Abstract: An individual sized portion of a pizza food can comprise a roughly triangular portion having a crust that substantially encloses the pizza filling held within the crust. The crust is easily cooked, handled by a consumer and prevents contact between consumer and the filling during preparation and consumption. The food item is manufactured by forming a filling layer between two crust layers, sealing the perimeter of the crust into a roughly triangular portion and baking the portion at a manufacturing facility prior to shipment to a consumer. The dough and filling are formulated for convenient microwave cooking. The item can include a crispy crust, a non-toughening dough formula, a non-boil filling, an entirely sealed product envelope, a browning agent and a pizza condiment seasoning on the crust of the item.
